Super Bowl fans divided after brief camera shot captures Donald Trump during anthem

Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Kansas City Chiefs in the LIX Super Bowl, with one standout moment being the presence of President Donald Trump at the Caesars Superdome, home of the New Orleans Saints, where the game was held.

Trump made history being the first ever sitting president of the United States to watch the Super Bowl game live.

Before the “Big Game,” Trump said in a statement, “I look forward to joining the fans in New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX to cheer on two great teams – the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles – as they battle for the National Football League’s Vince Lombardi Trophy.”

During the national anthem, performed by Jon Batiste, before the game on Sunday, February 9, the camera showed the president who was spotted in a salute.

He was standing next to his daughter, Ivanka Trump, and  Gayle Benson, owner of the New Orleans Saints.

The moment he appeared on the big screen, the crowd went crazy.

Many agreed that the POTUS received cheers by the many fans gathered at the stadium.

However, there were also those who said that the live broadcast made it difficult to determine for sure if the loud cheering was in fact booing.

Some commented on the salute he gave the crowd, with a person writing, “Why is he standing like that? He didn’t even serve in the military. That’s hilarious.” Another added: “The hand over the heart gesture is really difficult for him.”

A person commented, “Donald Trump better be sitting during this military salute moment tbh.” Someone else added: “Why does Donald Trump salute, is he an army vet?”

Of course, President Trump’s supporters were quick to write that being the Commander in Chief gives him all the right to salute during the national anthem.

“They didn’t boo him. They cheered very loudly. He is expected to salute as he is commander in chief. It is his duty,” one person commented. “He’s literally the Commander-In-Chief of the entire United States Military,” another added.

In the game anticipated by the entire nation, the Eagles beat the Chiefs 40-22, denying them the chance to win an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl title.

Why Taylor Swift was savagely booed at the Super bowl

By

Taylor Swift cheered for boyfriend Travis Kelce at last night’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. In fact, she rarely misses a change to see Kelce play, and as much as everyone would expect her presence there, it seemed that some were bothered by her.

Namely, when the singer was shown on the big screen in the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, many booed her.

She appeared to have given a slow side eye to the camera before asking her friend and rapper, Ice Spice, “What is going on?”

Taylor Swift was then seen smiling and telling something to the people seated next to her.

This, however, isn’t the first time the So High School singer to be booed at the Super Bowl. In 2023, Patriots fans started jeering at her while she watched her tight end boyfriend.

Fans on X believe they know why Swift was booed during the match that saw the Chiefs lose the game.

“Eagles fans are booing her. She’s originally from Philly area but obviously rooting for Travis and chiefs,” one person said.

Another added: “The booos are from eagles fans aka the opposite team she supports this is normal.”

“What I don’t understand is why people booed at Taylor Swift? Like she was doing literally nothing and she’s just there to show support to Travis Kelce and see the game, it’s not like they’re going to make a Gabriella-Troy scene in High School Musical 3,” someone else commented.

A person explained this booing in a hilarious way. “Boyfriend: I can’t believe they haven’t showed Taylor Swift yet. Me: I heard that they showed a shot of her in the stadium and she got booed. Boyfriend: Why’d she get booed? Me: Um, the Philadelphia Eagles are playing her boyfriend’s team. These are the same fans that booed Santa Claus.

“Anyway, go birds.”

The Super Bowl was also watched by President Donald Trump.

This makes him the first ever sitting US president to attend the game.

In the past, or during the presidential campaign last year to be exact, Swift showed her endorsement for Kamala Harris publicly, which triggered Trump to write on Truth Social, “I hate Taylor Swift.”

King Charles ‘in tears’ after emotional talk with Princess Anne

By

King Charles has his most loyal supporter in his sister, Princess Anne. The brother and sister share a strong bond that dates back from the time they were still just children.

Over the years, Princess Anne has shown her love and loyalty for Charles many times, and most recently, she did it again when she announced she won’t be stepping down from her royal duties despite the accident she suffered.

Namely, late Queen Elizabeth’s daughter was involved in an incident at the Gatcombe Park estate in southwest England, during which she had sustained minor injuries and a concussion, the Palace reports.

Her medical team noted that her head injuries matched the impact from a horse’s head or legs.

This incident caused Princess Anne to experience temporary memory loss.

“For the last several years, Zara Tindall has been worried that the palace has been relying too heavily on her septuagenarian mother,” Christopher Andersen, author of The King, shared with Fox News.

“She has a point,” the author added. “Princess Anne is routinely described as the hardest-working royal, racking up 457 engagements last year alone. She has always been fondly thought of as inexhaustible — even invincible. When Zara saw her mother lying in a hospital bed suffering from a severe concussion and memory loss, she was understandably shaken.”

Luckily, she recovered and was able to return to her royal duties.

In the past, King Charles and Princess Anne had different opinions regarding the way the monarchy should evolve. This is especially true when it comes to slimming down the monarchy, something King Charles wanted to do even before taking over the throne.

“Well, I think the ‘slimmed down’ was said in a day when there were a few more people around. It doesn’t sound like a good idea from where I’m standing, I would say. I’m not quite sure what else we can do,” Anne told CBC.

The truth is that the royal family lost working royals in recent years.

One loss was the passing of Queen Elizabeth. Another came with Harry and Meghan stepping back from their roles. A third was Prince Andrew. He was forced to leave his position as a senior working royal following the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

During the interview, Princess Anne was also asked if the Royal Family engages in discussions about their relevance. She replied: “There will be everywhere. It’s not a conversation that I would necessarily have. I think it’s perfectly true that it is a moment where you need to have that discussion.

“But I would just underline that the monarchy provides, with the constitution, a degree of long-term stability that is actually quite hard to come by any other way.”

She added: “We as a family see ourselves there to support that role. What we do, we hope, contributes to the monarchy and the way in which it can convey continuity, of not just interest, but of service, of understanding, the way that people in communities want to live their lives.”

Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner believes that Princess Anne is the most reliable Royal Family member.

“When she had her unfortunate accident with a horse, many pundits thought this would be the end of her service,” Pelham Turner said.

“But miraculously, after taking an absence of leave to recover, she is back hitting the trail again as strong as ever. The shiny example [of] this work ethic was her mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II. She has fulfilled many roles with her brother, the king, mainly out of action.”

The royal expert continued: “She is a no-nonsense royal who does not suffer fools gladly. She is an inspiration to other royals, setting the bar very high on work ethics.”

As Princess Anne’s relationship with the King, it’s always been a close one.

In fact, when Anne said she would continue working after the accident, the King had mixed emotions.

“Camilla might be the love of his life, but Anne’s his greatest and most reliable confidante,” a royal aide said, as reported by Express. “Anne’s the only one with the ability to tell him uncomfortable truths and pull him back from any emotional distractions.”

“The conversation they had about that was unusually emotional for Charles and he did break down in tears over her lifelong loyalty to him,” the source added. “In private, he is simply overjoyed that she’ll be there with him until the end.”

Why you should never throw coffee grounds ever again

By

Starting the morning with a cup of coffee is a common ritual for millions of people worldwide. The truth is that many of us enjoy this beverage not only for its deeply satisfying aroma and taste but also because it helps boost our energy, keep us wake when we need it, and enhances our mood.

Of course, coffee is also related to socializing, and meetings, as well as to relaxed breaks.

But have you ever thought about the coffee grounds? Most of us just throw it in the garbage without being aware of their usage. Yes, coffee grounds are versatile. They can be used as natural fertilizers, for removing grease from the dishes, and as an insect repellent, among the rest.

Pexels

If your yard gets “invaded” by wasps, mosquitoes, or ants, just use coffee grounds. A research from 2015 confirmed that these insects find the coffee aroma unpleasant, so it would keep them away. Simply place coffee grounds around the plants or along the pathways and add a few drops of lemon on it for a better effect.

Feeding your plants with coffee grounds will result in rich soil.

Further, it will attract warms, and we all know that warms mean healthy garden, and will repel snails and slugs. In case you own a cat, the smell of the coffee would keep it from digging and pooping in the garden.

Pexels

If you opt for natural ways to keep the strange odor out of your fridge, place a bowl of coffee grounds inside. In no time, your fridge, as well as your freezer, would smell pleasant and nice.

Another purpose of coffee grounds, among the many, is that it absorbs the grease from pots and pans. Use it to scrub them and make them shiny again.

The beauty of coffee grounds is that they can be used for beautifying and exfoliating our skin and getting rid of the bags under our eyes.

In case you want to give it a go, here’s a recipe for the cream that helps with the bags under the eyes. Mix 3 tbsp coconut oil, 2 tbsp almond oil, and 5 tbsp coffee grounds in a saucepan. Boil for 30 minutes, strain, add 2 more tbsp coconut oil, and mix well. Pour into jars. Use under eyes for a healthy glow.

Who knew that the coffee leftovers can be used in so many ways.

The Rap World’s Latest Plea to Trump

By

I was stunned when I saw a post where Kanye begs Trump to free Diddy, who’s currently locked up awaiting trial. Kanye West, the renowned rapper-turned-fashion mogul, hopped on social media to urge President Donald Trump to squash the charges facing Sean “Diddy” Combs. This comes after the 47-year-old West made headlines at the Grammys with his wife Bianca Censori, whose eye-popping red carpet outfit set the internet ablaze.

Yeezy Collab and a Shout-Out from Diddy

West took to Twitter to explain how he plans to use his Yeezy brand to sell a Sean John collaboration, claiming he and Diddy had hashed out the project before Diddy landed behind bars. He pledged to split the profits 50-50. Shortly after, Diddy’s official Instagram account responded with a heartfelt thank-you, giving props to Yeezy’s support. The details of Diddy’s legal troubles haven’t stopped the hype, and fans can’t ignore how Kanye begs Trump to free Diddy seems to be his new campaign.

The Charges Against Combs

Combs is facing serious allegations: racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion. He’s pled not guilty, maintaining that the so-called “freak offs” mentioned in his indictment were misrepresented. Even so, a federal grand jury indicted him, and now Combs is stuck behind bars until trial in May. Kanye posted several expletive-laden tweets calling on the public to support Diddy, warning that authorities are trying “to prove a point” with this high-profile case. If you’re wondering why Kanye begs Trump to free Diddy, part of it might be loyalty—Kanye has referred to Diddy as his “idol” and “hero.”

Dark Allegations and High-Profile Names

One of the more chilling accusations involves a 13-year-old, who’s now taking both Combs and Jay-Z (Shawn Carter) to court. Both men deny the claims. Meanwhile, Kanye’s social media rants show no sign of letting up. He insists the system’s trying to make an example out of Combs, and he thinks Trump should step in. Whether or not that intervention will happen remains to be seen, but the drama is unfolding in real time, capturing the entertainment world’s undivided attention.

I Never Expected This Trick to Go Viral

By
Bryan Seal
-

I was scrolling through TikTok when I spotted a plane seat reclining hack that caught me completely off guard. A woman showed how placing a Pringles can between the tray table and the seat in front can stop that person from reclining. Some people think it’s genius. Others say she should be banned from flying altogether. Talk about a polarizing approach to in-flight comfort!

A Divisive Hack

User @clareduggan1982 showed off her method, saying it’s perfect if the person in front keeps inching their seat back. You just lower your tray table, wedge a tall item—like a Pringles tube—underneath, and voilà, no more recline. But critics believe it’s obnoxious to block someone’s seat function, insisting you should expect the seat to come back. A few folks do like the idea, though, arguing that seats shouldn’t recline at mealtime or when space is already super tight. I guess that’s why this plane seat reclining hack is sparking such a heated debate.

Should Airlines Step In?

Some travelers wish airlines would remove the recline option altogether or enforce set times to tilt back. Others say this is overkill, maintaining everyone has the right to enjoy a bit more comfort on a long flight. Meanwhile, a handful of supportive TikTokers offered their own solutions—like using a water bottle or even refusing to recline out of courtesy for the person behind them. At the end of the day, this plane seat reclining hack has people arguing about who’s responsible for basic airline etiquette: the passengers themselves, or the airlines that design cramped seating.

Grieving father recounts the heartbreaking moment he learned his daughter had died in a shark attack

By

-

When Steve Zmuda heard sirens and learned there was a shark attack incident on the beach, he started calling his friends. What he never expected was that the swimmer in question was his own daughter, 17-year-old Charlize Zmuda.

Steve recalled the time he learned the news every parent dreads. “I said ‘Is it a fatality… do we know them’ … ‘Steve I have to tell you, It’s Charlize’ … I said ‘you’re joking’… I screamed, all the neighbours came running out.”

Steve desperately tried to reach his wife, Rene. However, he couldn’t gather the strength to tell her that their daughter was the one killed in the shark attack.

“[Steve] couldn’t talk and I didn’t know what was going on … I screamed at him ‘just tell me!’ … not for one second thinking it would be…,” Rene Zmuda told the Daily Telegraph.

“I knew it was bad because he couldn’t speak… but in my head I was like ‘where do I need to be?'”

At that moment, Rene rushed to the ambulance because she needed to see her daughter herself in order to believe.

Rene said her daughter was “a shining light who truly touched the lives of everyone she met.”

ABC News

Charlize’s devastated dad, who runs the Nippers club at Woorim Beach on the tip of Queensland’s southeast coast where the attack happened, urged swimmers to swim between the red and yellow flags, something his daughter didn’t do that day, and it cost her her life.

“But something my wife and I want to say is we don’t want people to stop coming to the beach and enjoying our beach,” Steve told 9News, adding they would never put people at risk.

“Charlize was a member of our club since she was eight years old.

“She was a dedicated lifesaver who wanted to only do the best for our club and all the people in our community.”

ABC News

Surf Life Saving Queensland, which Charlize was a member of, shared their tribute.

“A 17-year-old member of the Bribie Island Surf Life Saving Club was fatally attacked by a shark. She and her family have been a cherished part of the surf lifesaving community, and our hearts are broken.

Additionally, they wrote: “Surf lifesaving is built on family and community, and today we mourn this devastating loss. On behalf of all members, we wrap our hearts and minds around her family, friends, Club, and all those affected. No words can ease the pain, but we stand together, offering our deepest sympathies and support.”

Our thoughts and prayers go to the grieving family.

Taylor Swift’s reaction to controversial Donald Trump comment by Travis Kelce ahead of the Super Bowl

By
Monica Pop
-

This weekend will bring yet another spectacle for the lovers of American football with the Kansas City Chiefs setting to take on the Philadelphia Eagles. Prior to the Super Bowl, the Chief’s star Travis Kelce made a comment that triggered his girlfriend’s reaction.

Namely, Kelce said it would be a “great honor” to play in front of the president, which urged many Swifties – Taylor Swift fans – to tell her to “run away” from him.

GB News

“If my boyfriend says its a great honor to have the man that slanders me constantly I would break up with him immediately,” one person commented. “No Travis it’s not awesome or an honor for that man to be there. His whole answer was just… yikes,” another added.

In the past, President Donald Trump made remarks about the singer, even stating that he “hates her,” which triggered their reaction to Kelce’s comment.

Trump’s comments on Swift came as a response to her publicly supporting his opponent, Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential campaign. At the time, Swift said, “We can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”

Swift, however, has shown her support for boyfriend Travis Kelce, clarifying that his statement wasn’t an explicit endorsement of Trump, but rather of the position held by the country’s leader, regardless who holds it.

Kelce shared his thoughts on playing in front of the president ahead of the Super Bowl, saying, “It’s awesome. It’s a great honour, I think no matter who the President is.”

He added: “I’m excited because it’s the biggest game of my life and having the President there, it’s the best country in the world so it’s pretty cool.”

People close to the couple say Travis Kelce wasn’t trying to make any political statements.

He was just making a comment on the behalf of his team and showed respect for the position of a president of the country.

Sources told Daily Mail that Swift isn’t angry at Kelce. “Although Travis’s quote was taken as he supports Trump, this is not what Travis said at all,” the source said.
